Well Received 2017 Israeli Film ‘Longing’ Lost In Translation With Richard Gere Remake – Specialty Preview


Richard Gere stars in 'Longing', Julia Louis-Dreyfus in A24s 'Tuesday', Rachel Sennott in 'I Used To Be Funny' and other indie films.

Kino Lorber opens Ramata-Toulaye Sy’s Banel & Adama, which was the only debut feature in last year’s Cannes competition – see Deadline review — and only the second film by a Black woman to compete for the Palme d’Or, following the director’s French-Senegalese compatriot Mati Diop’s Atlantics in 2019. It stars Oumaima Barid as Itto, a young woman from a modest rural background slowly adapting to the Moroccan privileged codes of her husband’s family when supernatural events thrust the country in a state of emergency. The erotic cringe comedy stars Zane Pais ( Margot At The Wedding) and Ian Edlund with Kit Zauhar, actress and singer Jessie Pinnick ( Princess Cyd) and multimedia artist Kate Williams.
